Pay Extra Hermit

The dragon pattern on the Clear Sky Hammer's handle howled like bursts of dragon roars, shaking Tang Hao's soul!

Dragon!

Proud since ancient times, and likewise immune to many forms of soul control!

And the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand, after the combined effects of the Dragon Transformation Secret Method and the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, had already acquired some traits of Dragon Might!

Therefore,

The dragon's roar shook him, and the filth receded.

Tang Hao's eyes were icy as he remained silent, while the dragon pattern on the hammer's handle roared!

Then he reached out and seized the Clear Sky Hammer once more!

The thoughts of his clansmen returned again, and the sentiments of friends and family crashed against his soul like a roaring tide.

Tang Hao's lips curved, spread apart, and bared neat white teeth. His right hand opened again, and the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul returned.

Filth!

Filth!

The sole dragon pattern on the hammer's handle roared, driving it away.

Tang Hao sneered and suddenly gripped the hammer's handle. He straightened up, and every piece of furniture in the quiet room creaked as it was pressed down, trembling and cracking!

Clear Sky Domain!

It protected his body and expelled the control.

Then Tang Hao raised his eyes and strode toward Zhou Xiu in the courtyard outside the quiet room!

At this moment, there were no words, nor was there any Hometown Fellow.

Since he knew the other man bore him hostility, a Hometown Fellow was simply someone to kill!

Boom!

Scorching sunlight poured down from the sky.

Inside the room, Zhou Xiu grimaced as he clutched his backside and opened the window, letting the sunlight in.

"Damn it, that Tang Dog really hits hard."

"The Clear Sky Sect's education is fucking trash too. They dare use corporal punishment on their own closest family members. They deserved to get played into sealing off their mountain."

Zhou Xiu cursed as he bared his teeth and pulled out a bottle of Golden Wound Medicine from his clothes, sprinkling it over the wound on his backside.

His Golden Finger was called the Character Acting System. As long as he completed its tasks, he could play characters who had appeared in human history, film and television, mythology, and on the screen.

He could also obtain that character's unique items, skills, and one talent.

The character's most legendary and widely known experiences would be solidified into his talent.

And his starter gift pack was Ding Xiu, Pay Extra Hermit, a famous film and television character from Earth in his previous life.

Among Ding Xiu's most famous lines was, "Those are my friends and family, my sworn brothers."

"You'll have to add money!"

It had been solidified into his talent.

[Friends and Family, Sworn Brothers] and [Add Money].

Naturally, a starter gift pack could be claimed twice, making it extremely cost-effective.

However, whenever Zhou Xiu thought of the loss he had suffered at Tang Hao's hands today, he ground his teeth, wishing he could kill Tang Hao right now.

"Damn it, ever since I got this ability, aside from those damn tagalongs, I've never suffered a loss at anyone else's hands!"

"Tang Hao, heh, Tang Hao!"

Zhou Xiu's eyes were bloodshot as he muttered Tang Hao's name through gritted teeth, filled with hatred.

"And those dozen or so tagalongs at Shrek Academy need to die too."

"Once I control Tang Hao and bring the Clear Sky Sect's Titled Douluo under control too, I'll make you dogs tear each other apart and kill every last one of you."

"No, Tang Hao has to be tortured to death. I'll find a dozen men to..."

Boom!

An immense pressure suddenly swept in from afar, descending upon Zhou Xiu like the magnificent might of Vast Sky.

With a smack, Zhou Xiu's vicious expression had not even changed before the enormous pressure slammed him onto the floor, forcing him into a full-body prostration!

Silence!

Terror!

Zhou Xiu was furious at first, but his face instantly turned pale as he thought of a possibility.

There was only one person who could be beside Tang Hao and use a domain to humiliate him like this!

Tang Hao!

Therefore, Zhou Xiu immediately softened his tone, lowered his head, and admitted his mistake, secretly vowing in his heart that this was all so he could seize Tang Hao later and kill him brutally.

In unbearable, blood-soaked humiliation, he begged, "Tang... Tang Hao, I... I was just joking. I didn't mean it."

"I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

On the floor, Zhou Xiu hurriedly begged for mercy. Lying there, his heart burned with humiliation.

His exposed buttocks still stuck out from his prone body. With a creak, the room's door opened, and scorching sunlight shone over his red backside.

Tang Hao stood at the doorway with lowered eyes, watching the disheveled Zhou Xiu sprawled on the ground. Feeling the thoughts of his "clansmen" assaulting his mind even more frantically, his smile grew colder as he said softly:

"Wrong? You certainly were wrong."

"However, you just mentioned a dozen or so tagalongs at Shrek Academy?"

Zhou Xiu's expression changed. Panic flickered in his eyes as he begged even more humbly:

"No, no, I was just talking in anger. Brother Tang, really, I truly know I was wrong."

"Is that so?"

Tang Hao smiled and slowly stepped through the lingering sunlight toward Zhou Xiu.

Then he crouched down, looked into Zhou Xiu's eyes from above, grabbed his head, and leaned close with a smile full of chilling intent.

"Since you've already guessed it, why are you still trying to deceive me?"

"Or do you want to try that lunatic you just mentioned?"

Tang Hao smiled and stared directly into Zhou Xiu's eyes. As he watched the panic turn to shock, then terror, he knew that this Hometown Fellow he had encountered—

Would be dealt with tonight.

Bang!

Violent pressure gathered in Tang Hao's rough palm. He suddenly pressed down on Zhou Xiu's head as immense Soul Power roared, his muscles tightening, transmitting force, and gathering strength.

Then he violently lifted Zhou Xiu's head and smashed it into the floor!

Crack.

A golden light appeared over Zhou Xiu's body, blocking Tang Hao's sudden attack and causing cracks to spread across the floorboards.

Yet Zhou Xiu himself remained completely unharmed!

"Invincible Golden Light?" Tang Hao lowered his eyelids. He was not surprised that Zhou Xiu had endured his sudden strike.

Even Dugu Aotian had been so difficult to kill and had possessed backup measures.

These Transmigrators from Shrek Academy should also have some life-saving trump cards.

Although he did not know it was Invincible Golden Light, nor did he know what form it would take.

That did not stop him from wanting to kill.

The Invincible Golden Light had protected Zhou Xiu's life, but he felt no joy whatsoever—only terror.

Invincible Golden Light.

It was a quest reward that those people from the tagalong faction had obtained from Xiao Wu after approaching her.

Basically everyone had gotten it.

But just like the original Invincible Golden Light, it only lasted three seconds.

And it could not resist any form of control.

In other words, once the three seconds passed, he would die!

"No, I don't want to die! Tang Hao, no, Hometown Fellow, we're both Hometown Fellows!"

"Please, spare me. I'll never make a move against you again."

"Besides, I know the Golden Fingers of those people at Shrek Academy. Keep me alive—keeping me alive will be very useful."

"And I can add money. Add money and let me live."

"Oh." Tang Hao smiled, sensing another wave of thoughts attempting to erode his soul.

Pay Extra Hermit, was it?

Tang Hao's smile became increasingly cold. "So you say you know the Golden Fingers of the others at Shrek Academy?"

"Name one at random right now, and let me consider it."

Tang Hao lowered his eyes, concealing endless coldness as he questioned Zhou Xiu through the power of Add Money.

But Zhou Xiu opened his mouth, his voice stammering, and Tang Hao understood.

"Even with death at your door, you still want to deceive me."

"Really, when Hometown Fellows meet, they stab each other in the back twice."

With lowered eyes, Tang Hao fiercely pressed his hand down upon the Invincible Golden Light as it vanished!

Smack!
